Investigators said addressing organized‑crime links, where applicable, remains a priority while they work to determine motive and any connections to broader criminal activity.
Public safety and next steps
Police investigators will continue forensic analysis, witness interviews and evidence review over the coming days as they build their files.
Anyone with information about either the 14th Avenue S.W. or 5th Avenue S.E. incidents is asked to contact the Calgary Police Service non‑emergency line or CrimeStoppers.
Officials said updates will be released when new, confirmed details are available and encouraged residents to report suspicious activity immediately.
Authorities are continuing their probes into both shootings, and will update the public when new information — including any arrests or changes to victim status — becomes available.
